I finally asked my neighbor about his weird lawn sprinkler pattern

It's been hitting my driveway every morning at 6 AM for like a month, so I went over yesterday and he showed me a busted solenoid on his Rain Bird controller. I just capped the line for him with a 1/2 inch plug from my truck. Anyone know a good way to test the other zones before calling a pro?

My old Rain Bird had a similar issue last spring. You can manually turn on each zone at the controller box to check for leaks or weak spray. Just be ready to run back and shut it off quick if another line is busted.

That solenoid might need replacing first.
